Kings or Icon?

@TunderStorm id probably have to get new wheels or spacers as well.. I got about 1/8” clearance from my UCA with these 295’s

 

I’d also get some sliders. You could get one of those steps hung up on something.

 

Haven’t had too many clearance issues, but a great point. I’m hoping the lift from suspension will spare me.

 

Sounds like you need a sick long travel suspension! No matter what you get it’s going to wear out with all those miles. A buddy of mine got the eco-diesel ram at work. That thing is lame.

 

The sliders are great. Yeah I’m thinking with going with the kings when my shocks are done. 2.5 with adjusters

 

50lb's is a lot for an "empty" truck. Empty you should be running them around the door sticker psi. I run my truck at 35 PSI.

 

Yes I run mine at 40

 

Right? Your tires are part of your suspension. I would imagine that psi would shorten the life of your shocks if your tires are too stiff.

 

Thanks dude. Will adjust today. Running 295/70r18 Ridge Grapp’s

 

It will make your shocks work much harder as the tire isn't going to be soaking up anything

 

Any rec’s on a suspension lift?

 

Icon will handle the washboard better but you can't go wrong with either over what is there currently. I would recommend a 700lb coil on the coilovers to help accommodate the weight that you have up front.

 

id go with the kings 3.0 with their standard 700lb coil. icon 3.0's dont offer 700lb springs. only standard 600lbs last i check. especially with that front weight of yours.

 

Thanks guys

 

This is on a BDS 7in Lift!

 

King's standard coil rate for that truck is 600lbs. As like Icon, they do not offer a 700lb spring option.

 

I have an email from Mike@King saying the 3.0's are 700lb coils.... Could be an error on his part.

 

Filthy Motorsports is a great spot to buy Kings! Super knowledgeable people and very help!

 

I have the 2.5 kings no clickers for a little over 2 years. 30,000 miles no problems, rides smooth with stock settings and I love them. I have also removed my front sway bar which helps with ride quality. Any of the shock brands will work I just chose King because theyve had less problems. LT is great but is very expensive, you can go 3.0’s front and rear, my plan is to pair a 2.5 bypass in the front and 3.0 kings in the rear. Good enough for what I do, I have sped through desert trails on this base and it’s very fun. Get the best suspension setup your budget can afford.

 

ADS makes a 3.0 coil for the Tundra too. Not sure their spring rate @M C M

All the coilovers listed will provide 2.5 -3in of lift up front.

 

ADS 3.0 from MCM FTW

 

Icon 3.0s up front with 2.5 icon omegas out back rides extremely well.

 

X2. My RG’s are the same size as yours @Acrotalus, I run mine at 33 lbs.

 

2" or so??? Talk to ToyTec about this awesome BP-51 ARB Old Man Emu setup. Problem solved >>>>

 

Yikes, no and no.

 

Yes and yes.

 

I'm running 295/70/18 load range E at 51 psi up front and 47 out back and getting a nice ride and very good wear. If I ran at the door sticker psi for a stock tire I'd be seriously under inflated. The chalk test is a good indicator of idea/proper inflation

 

But are you running 51psi off-road for 200 miles a day? I would run 25psi off road depending on the terrain.

 

i believe "kings pull bitches". somethang bout dat blue.

 

200 miles a day is a fuck ton of miles in the dirt.

Kings or Foxes. I'd go with Kings because they use better quality internals. And with driving up to a thousand miles a week in the dirt, you're gonna need to rebuild those shocks frequently.


Find me one race team the runs ADS or Old Man Emu equipment.

Also, that bumper isn't doing you any favors for getting longevity out of your shocks. And drop the tire pressure for the dirt. I wouldn't go less than 35. The Tundra is heavy.
